Brasserie Blanc Chancery Lane in City of London, Westminster

Loved the food here. We had a private room in the basement for our group. The service was excellent. For a large group of 23, the staff made it seem effortless.

Maciek gave great service. Very helpful recommendations.

Repas excellent, accueil chaleureux, plat bien servi et un personnel souriant. Je recommande fortement cette brasserie française !

A great place for a reasonably priced 'posh' lunch. Food was well presented, decent sized portions and very good indeed.

Great little hidden gem, menu was great and the wine selection better. Chap who looked after us (the owner or manager perhaps) was a delight

I reserved a table but it was almost empty on a Friday night at 18:30 so I need not have bothered. The surroundings were nice, both inside and outside and had the style you would expect for a bistro in France, however it lacked a bit of ambience because there were so few customers. Service was professional - very pro-active and keen to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The starters and mains both very good, especially the slow cooked pork belly. Wine a little bit pricey (£39 for a NZ sauvignon) but not unexpected, I've paid more elsewhere. One disappointment was the promised Burford Brown egg with the Morteau Sausage Salad - I only buy these eggs and there was no way that the poached egg served was a Burford Brown, theyolk was really pale rather a rich yellow so it was obviously just an ordinary egg (why promise something then not deliver?) A 12% gratuity was automatically added but to be honest I would have left more if it was left to my choice. I'll now look for others in the chain.

Fantastic meal yesterday - very tasty , staff attentive . Couple of things of the menu and told ‘it was the end of the week !’ But didn’t ruin the evening The pistachio soufflé for dessert was gorgeous

Superb lunch, convenient for the Law Society, great atmosphere, we booked for four and when we became five we were promptly moved to another table in a quiet side room entirely suitable as we had much to discuss. The bouillabaisse was delicious and the service prompt and attentive. Thank you, my second visit, I’ll be back!

We loved Brasserie Blanc. The staff were very attentive. I am currently in a wheelchair and they were considerate and helpful. They made it clear that nothing was too much trouble and they were so friendly and good natured. We all really enjoyed our food. I'd certainly go back again next time I'm in that part of London.

Brasserie Blanc in Chancery Lane is a wonderful little establishment giving a nod to the classic French brasserie. The service is an outstanding: friendly, professional and, importantly, knowledgeable about the food and wine. The ambience is relaxed and quiet with tasteful background music. The focus here is the enjoyment of their food and not a mad rush to turn your table. Highly recommended!

Fabulous meal and service. This was a Virgin Experience menu booking, it was great food and not treated any different to other customers. We would definitely go back, also not far from the theatre and less busy, so worth the short walk! 😁

Really great brasserie with kind and attentive service

Went for a lunch - a nice and quiet place. Excellent service and good duck leg confit. Would come again on a work lunch.

Excellent food and not expensive. Excellent meat. Great service. recommended!

Second visit to Brasserie Blanc, fist time to Chancery Lane. The highest standards at both venues. Food, service and ambience were just what I wanted. And not really expensive - 3-course lunch for 4 people with pre-meal drinks, wines coffees and a couple of digestifs came to about £75 per head including service charge.

Really recommended!!! Did see some comments about the speed of service, and maybe it wouldn't have suited a swift bite to eat, but in return we had an excellent meal, good surroundings, with a wide choice, at a not so scary price. Thank you

The food was sublime and the service second to none. Between us we had cheese soufflé, pork cutlets, duck confit, pistachio soufflé and crème broulee. It was all cooked to perfection.

Super food and attentive service. Wonderful place for a leisurely lunch. Only downside is that the ladies is down some steep stairs.

Ok so started eating before the review as I was looking forward to the duck. It was exquisite. The service was superb. Such honesty about the menu and what not to have and a funny gentleman too. Had so many cocktails the blood orange Paloma was special. The soufflé 🤤🤤🤤

Fantastic food and warm, welcoming service. What more can you ask for right in the centre of London? Seasonal menu at prices that don’t break the bank.

The place is comfortable, the food is delicious, the service is also friendly and professional. This place is easy to reach from Holborn station.

So I don’t want to give a negative review, as the food was nice and service was good, however it wasn’t as good as the Fulham Reach BB. The duck was a little tough and the soufflé a little under cooked. The decor is somewhat dingy in comparison. This said I would still recommend if you’re in the area.

Great food and service. All the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend it l-if you like the French brasserie type of place

This Brasserie Blanc is wonderful. I've been here for lunch and for dinner a number of times now, mostly on work-related occasions and it has always been very good. The menu is typical brasserie fare, the service is very good, and it one of those places that offer a sense of occasion along with lovely food and good service. And it is very competitive round here, so you need to know what you're doing to thrive in these parts. It's often full, bookings often need to be made well in advance and it's a pity to miss the chance to go here.

Mixed bag of feelings - cheese soufflé was quite good and meet. Great variety of wines. What was a bitter ending - is apple crumble. C’mon its not crumble just a baked apples I made at home with a drop of “crumble on top”. With price of 9 pounds - it does not worth that. When I tried that and explained to the waiter - they do not even consider to discount/replace at all. Would not expect bad service from such place.

Great location and very nice ambiance from inside. The food was great, Service was excellent. We were able to dine without a reservation luckily but it was during a weekday.

Beautiful restaurant. Waiting staff excellent. Food wonderful.We love coming here. Usually go in the evening but went for a late lunch the staff work really hard. Food is always delicious. We were given a Virgin experience voucher and the set menu had a good choice of meat, fish or vegetarian option.

Location was good, a hidden gem. Food was absolutely delicious!! A very good choice of menu. Staff were very attentive, welcoming and polite.

I am never disappointed when using Brasserie Blanc. Mostly it is Chancery Lane as it is close to the office. The food is reliably excellent. The staff are particularly attentive. Our waitress knew the wines available and best match for our choice of dishes.

Lovely service and food. The steak was nothing special, but the lamb and escargot were wonderful.

We visited on a Tuesday and there was a lovely atmosphere - nice mix of customers and busy without feeling too noisy. The food was very good - escargots, moules, pork all cooked very nicely and it felt fresh. Great wine list and none of it overpriced. We liked it so much we returned with family two days later and it was also very good. Service a little slow on the second night and the waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed but perhaps she was new. Again, good value for money and reliable food. Would absolutely return.

The food was amazing! Service was amazing! We loved every moment of it ❤️

My partner’s sea bass was cooked to perfection and the pistachio soufflé desert (with chocolate ice cream) delicious - so too the crème brûlée. However, the burger was quite ordinary. A pity as it does not take much to prepare a stand out burger! So I give 4 stars as the food, drinks and service were otherwise good.

Excellent food and service Waiter excellent and welcoming Will come again Food delicious Good value for money ! 🤗

We had a lovely evening, food was delicious and presented very well. We had a slight issue with the time delay on our mains but once we spoke to the team, the manager sorted it without fuss and gave us a generous discount. Service from the manager was second to none. We would definitely return.

Went for a lunch beginning of January. Pleasant staff, nice looking restaurant. We sat downstairs that had booths and felt warm and cosy. Food was served hot and tasty and if you get the email discount of 50% its amazing value. We should all be so grateful to people that work in hospitality, who make our lives a happier place. Im going back next week!

This was really disappointing. It took our main course 30 minutes to arrive after our starter, while other tables who arrived after us were served their mains. My chicken skin was burnt and flesh was dry - it had obviously been forgotten about and left on the hob. No one noticed the delay, and no one asked us how everything was. I didn't raise anything at the time as it would have made my companion very uncomfortable and ruined our evening. I had booked because I had good experiences there before but this was really poor.

Expensive price, does not fetch food worth the value. Service was below average, more like a self service expensive non-french brasserie

Amazing food and ambience. Went there for Christmas lunch. Beautifully decorated, delicious food served well

We had our Office Christmas party here yesterday and everyone had a great time. We were a large group of 36 people but organising it was made easy by Marco and Diego. The food was very good and the service was amazing. Thank you again!!

Amazing service and food. Went for Christmas team lunch. Pre booked and menu chosen online. Great timing on drinks and food. Comfortable and well seated. Waitress was accommodating and attended to all our drinking needs. Thank you. Only gripe was that there was not enough crumble on the apple 'crumble' dessert.

Very impressed with this place. The food is lovely always served up in good time, hot food hot, salads cool, the staff are lovely and you get good service with a smile. It is now on my list of favourites in London.

Really amazing food and the service was excellent. We'd gone out to celebrate a birthday and it was ideal for that. Small and cosy, but lovely atmosphere and not too noisy. I'd definitely go back here - it was really lovely.

Fantastic small restaurant in a nice and comfortable setting. Menu and food were both great with a perfect creme brulee to end the evening. Great spot with outstanding service. Would definitely dine here again.

Showed up at 9pm, they said their kitchen was closed. Hours said they were open to 11pm. A true waste of a walk.

Great restaurant, good service, fab menu choices and very tasty food.

Cozy restaurant and delicious food

Went for a mid week lunch and was not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

We went for an early dinner after a walking tour in London. We were using up loyalty points from the Brasserie Blanc loyalty scheme that is about to close. The tube had problems. The battery on my phone died and my wife's phone had frozen so we ran from Chancery Lane tube, unable to let the know the restaurant we were going to be late. They were very nice and we soon relaxed over pre dinner drinks. Brassserie Blanc used to be Cote's upmarket sister. Cote, unfortunately, has gone downhill - leaving BB as the only Brasserie chain around. I'm not too sure how much food is cooked from scratch on the premises but the food is always good and the service reliable. The chain is now owned by a private equity company but let's hope that it at least tries to maintain the standards it had when Raymond Blanc was actively involved.

Great food and service. Good value with 25% off this week. Busy lunchtime Monday

I’ve eaten here before and had no issues but sadly we had a pretty poor experience at our lunch. We informed the waitress we were on a tight deadline for lunch and ordered three main meals and a drink. It took over 20 minutes for the food to arrive, two of the three orders were incomplete (chips missing and bacon missed off the burger) and the drink never materialised. We were offered 10% off the bill but the service charge was left on which given the service was poor, seemed a bit odd! Hopefully just a one off bad day for the staff.

Great atmosphere and food. We had a group dinner.

We used the virgin voucher at this place and the 3 courses we had were absolutely delicious and so filling. The waiter was great too!

Out midweek with family on Wednesday (steak night), which is a lovely, good-value offer because one gets a free bottle of house plonk if 2 steaks are ordered. The venue is lovely, the wine delicious, and the atmosphere pleasant. The meal itself, however, was disappointing. 1 of the 3 steaks was chewy - either not a particularly good piece or poorly cooked... My meat was fine, but the Béarnaise sauce was insipid, and the whole dish badly under seasoned. The peppercorn sauce was also lacking. We all had to add salt and pepper. It's a fancy place but you'd expect a French restaurant to get flavour into the sauces. I will come back again - the anchovy appetizer is yummy - but not for a while. The rump steak at the Bountiful Cow in Holborn is stupendous, and Cote Brasserie is consistently good. The food does look good though, you have to say (pic attached).

Delish! Main course was to die for

My girlfriend and I went here for our last night in London before returning across the pond. We had scallops and a burrata for our starters, and shared a steak for 2 for the main. For dessert I had a pistachio soufflé with chocolate ice cream. After a bottle of wine and a lovely meal, which was provided with excellent and friendly service, we returned to our hotel, sad that we will have to wait until our next trip to London to return for another meal.

Enjoyable lunch with friends. Excellent service and nice vibe. Food and wine good and cost not outrageous for the area. Would go again. Would rate four and a half overall if I could.

Lunch with friends. Food and service very good and a nice atmosphere. Would happily return. Air con appreciated as one of the hottest days of the year.

Food. Service. Atmosphere all absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended

Klsre Empfehlung! Das Essen war sehr gut und die Angestellten äußerst zuvorkommend und freundlich.

A wonderful restaurant. Excellent food, relaxed atmosphere and fantastic staff. Would recommend highly

The setting of this restaurant in the Holborn and Chancery Lane area is perfect for tourists and business-people alike. A beautiful wood-panelled interior with plentiful artwork creates a charming setting. The meal itself, like in other branches of this small chain was excellent. Beautifully cooked fish with delicious vegetables, followed by a fabulous array of desserts and excellent coffee, served by well-trained waiters, make for a supremely enjoyable meal out.

The service was amazing and the food very good

Nice setting, good staff, very very average food.

Excellent food and great service.

Absolutely super food and exceptional value. Staff were great, really friendly and attentive. Would go back again and again!

Lovely meal at BB. We visit our local restaurant regularly so decided to visit this one whilst in London. The staff were so accommodating of us and our little boy. Service wonderful and food and drink delicious. The only negative point would be that there...

Absolutely divine food with exceptional service and reasonable prices for central London, well worth a visit.

Really lovely evening at the Brasserie Blanc in Chancery Lane. Very chilled atmosphere, lovely food and a really imaginative menu plus an attentive staff team.

We were hosted in a private room that created a great atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service superb!

The customer service is outstanding and the food is cooked to perfection

Great food and tasty I really enjoy food👍🏻Highly recommend!!

The staff were welcoming, the food excellent and despite being a busy lunch service, the whole experience was very unhurried. Food delicious and plentiful, will be back again on any future trips to London

The private dining room is exceptional, the food is good and the staff was just amazing! Marco in the events team was superb to help arrange everything before the dinner as well!

Friendly welcome, excellent service and quality food washed down with a bottle of Sav Blanc. Great way to spend a lunchtime. Had a Red Letter day token so booked ahead, couldn't be simpler.

Elegant, modern and lively ambience, the food was fantastic and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. You eat your meal at your own pace, no rushing and the overall experience was great value. We’ve taken guests there several times – this place doesn’t disappoint. Crab and sweetcorn bon-bons with brown crab mayonnaise was an unusual offering but we loved it. For mains I had the provencale lamb roulade with confit onion and herb stuffing. The dauphinoise potatoes and minted pea salad were lovely! Don’t forget the pistachio souffle to finish – wonderful! Interesting menu, food very well executed. Well planned food presentation, and that leads to a more enjoyable meal

Great service, very friendly, convenient location. Good, especially vegetables, was good. They close the kitchen early so make sure they’re open before you go.

First visit to Raymond Blanc. We were very impressed with the service, attentive but not in too much. Food portion sizes were good and quality was excellent. We were all happy with our visit. The lamb was very good, really enjoyed the tarte citreon. Would...

Excellent meal. Excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend!!

The appetiser and main was amazing!! Dessert could better though!

Six of us lunched at this restaurant. The food was good; I enjoyed the rock bass. It's a busy location, with a good vibe throughout the restaurant.

Very nice staff and excellent dishes (especially the quinoa salad)

First time dining here and we loved it! Warm welcome on arrival and at 7:30pm there was a lovely atmosphere and buzz in the restaurant on a Tues night. We sat downstairs in the panelled dining room which was so cosy and beautifully lit. My...

I've been here before on a couple of occasions and wasnt disappointed this time either. Fabulous food, great service and a very good and reasonably priced house white. I'll definitely return and easily have the same dishes.

I found this place a year ago while at a meeting close by and it was fabulous so knowing I was returning to area for work with friends, it was a must. Exceptional service, the food and wine was lovely too. Small, busy, atmospheric and...

Fantastic food! The cheese soufflé is a particular favourite of mine. The interior is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and the range of vegetarian and vegan options is wide. The only downside is that this venue is not accessible for wheelchairs/people who have trouble climbing stairs.

Great experience from the moment we walked in the door. We'd made a reservation for an early dinner from the Spring a la carte menu. The staff were friendly while professional. Lovely atmosphere with perfect lighting and wood panelling. Love seasonal cooking. I had Lamb/lemon...

Excellent service, food and atmosphere. The waiting staff were very attentive and could not do enough for us. Felt welcome and well looked after. We will be back.

Good food, nice range of options on the menu, fair price. Pretty busy when we went on a Thursday lunchtime, giving it a nice atmosphere.

Easy to walk to from work, lovely welcome, French serving team who know what they are doing and excellent food. We both had the cheese soufflé (yes, the flavour is not as marked as in other Brasseries Blancs/White Brasseries so maybe it needs a little...

Excellent place! We had a Virgin Voucher so we paid a great price for a 3 course meal and medium glass of wine, we had a set menu to choose from and sadly there wasn't anything on the mains that I would have really enjoyed (they were lovely sounding options, I can just be a little particular) but the waiter was amazing and let me change for another dish, which was delicious! The wine was very fairly priced and lovely, and I would highly recommend the pistachio souffle for dessert. All the waiters were very attentive, helpful and friendly. All round great place and would definitely go back !

Really enjoyed a lovely meal here, the cheese souffle is a really tasty starter, but the lamb roulade is an absolutely delicious show stopper. Very friendly and kind staff, and a lovely selection of wine too.

Faultles really!! My only, minor, issue was the temperature of the blower when visiting the toilets; a hugely hot gust of air landed from above as soon as one left the restaurant area; happily, though, on return to restaurant, the blower was visible, so I was prepared. We both had cheese souffle as starters; I followed with rib eye pork, whilst wife went for Bass. We both had sticky treacle pudding for dessert; my wife largely liked hers, though found the 'blood orange marmalade' a touch too bitter. I on the other hand loved mine, other than being unable to eat the nougatine 'biscuit' it was topped with, due to my allergies!! Really enjoyed my 'Blood Orange Paloma', as well as my 'Salted Caramel Espresso Martini'; wife enjoyed her Sauv blanc, and her 'orange wine' with dessert. Atmosphere was far more intimate than at other Brasserie Blanc we've eaten at.

Good food. But not the best experience, my friend booked a table for 9pm. Staff was clearly upset to work this late, service was slow and very unfriendly (Moustache man you should try smiling sometimes or at least being polite). At the end they wouldn’t serve my friend a glass of wine because if was “too late” even though we were still waiting for the desserts to be served, (courtesy of the manager). They just shouldn’t take booking at 9pm. Thanks to the lady waitress who was polite and professional.

We had a private room which was spacious yet atmospheric with candles on the tables and our own waiter who was very attentive. The food was beautifully cooked and delicious. We had a lot of dietary requirements but nothing was too much trouble. Overall, a...

On the Chancery Lane, London, there is Brassiere Blanc. A quant establishment with an old-fashioned atmosphere. We had a fabulous birthday lunch in October 2022 enjoying a wonderful 3-course meal with wonderful service from the waiters. For starters we had pork pate with toast and a cheese souffle - delicious. For mains we had Duck leg with dauphinoise potatoes and free range beef-burger with French Fries. Finally for dessert we had sticky toffee pudding and pistachio souffle with chocolate gelato- very nice. Recommended. Our second visit was in February 2023 for a delightful three course lunch. For starters we had pork pate with toast and a cheese souffle - once again excellent. For mains we had Lamb Roulade with dauphinoise potatoes, Trout with brown prawns and free range beef-burger with French Fries. Finally for dessert we had sticky toffee pudding, apple/blackberry crumble with vanilla ice cream and pistachio souffle with chocolate gelato- a nice way to end.

Hugely disappointed. First impression was lacking from the miserable greeting at the door to being asked if we would like water 3 times by 3 individuals. Just take the glass away after the first no thank you ( absolute basic ) chose our wine which was by the glass and handled at the top of the glass. Table sat after us served food first which alerted the management team and rushed passed shouting I'm going to find out where your food was wasn't an issue until later when we didn't pay service charge because of the wait we were told " well that's how long it takes to cook 20 minutes" despite we waited 40. At least this explains the tough under seasoned lamb, venison sausage rubbery. Jus was bitter, unidentifiable lumps in the mash. Wouldn't return.

Great food and service - staff were very attentive. Took clients and everyone enjoyed the evening! I had the mussels and the beef bourguignon which really was very good indeed. Wine went superbly with the food.

Reliable good food but not wildly exciting
